Turning Algae Into Fuel - w/Rudy Behrens | The Good and Basic Podcast ep. 32

We interview Rudy Behrens about the Manatee--an autonomous robot that harvests algae blooms and turns them into biofuel. We go over the design choices of this low-maintenance bot as well as Rudy's unique distribution model--the plans are available for free online and the Manatee can turn a profit in a surprisingly short time. Find more about Rudy's work at https://solariscybernetics.com/ and download the plans for the Manatee at https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdzmli1ki1czacf/Model-JTfree.zip?dl=0
